Fadnavis described the collaboration as a milestone in the state’s digital transformation journey. “This is a giant leap towards future-ready Maharashtra and sets the benchmark for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Digital India mission at the grassroots,” he said, underlining the effort to strengthen connectivity for critical sectors such as healthcare, education, and disaster management.
